The infrared and ultraviolet spectra of planetary nebula NGC 2440 are presented. The observations were made by the Infrared Space Observatory (ISO) and the International Ultraviolet Explorer (IUE). These data, in conjunction with published optical observations have been used to derive electron temperature and density. The electron temperature increases with increasing ionization potential, from 11 000 to 18 000 K. The electron density has a constant value of 4500 C_Hbeta m3 in agreement with previous determinations. The chemical abundance has been derived for the following elements; helium, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, neon, sulfur and argon. The ionization correction factor turns out to be very small for all species except sulfur. Based on observations with ISO, an ESA project with instruments funded by ESA Member States (especially the PI countries: France, Germany, The Netherlands and the UK) and with the participation of ISAS and NASA.
